Tasting Notes
An array of white pears, pineapple and lemon are the flavours on the nose that will follow through on the palate. A fruitful wine with a good mid palate, that ends off with a zesty lemon finish.
Food Suggestions
This wine is the perfect companion with a gourmet chicken salad or Indian curry dish. Will also pair well with fish and seafood.
In The Vineyard
The grapes were harvested from dryland farmed vineyards in Darling, where the vines are not trellised and planted as bush vines on a combination of laterite soils 15 km from the Atlantic Ocean. These grapes ripen as nature intended without human intervention, we do monitor vineyards for optimal picking times, adopting a combination of sampling and tasting to optimize the richer tropical (thiol) notes.
